This book is part of a series of Chemistry Olympiad - A problem-solving approach. This book aims to provide a problem-solving approach to the questions in Chemistry Olympiad, a different take to Chemistry Olympiad as opposed to the routine memorisation and heavy content provided in other books. I plan to make a series of these books for various other chapters such as kinetics, organic chemistry, inorganic elucidation etc. if this book gains any form of traction.The books would be separated into 3 main chapters: Fundamentals, Problem-solving approach, Tips & tricks. The first chapter will provide you with the necessary knowledge to solve the problems you will face in Chemistry Olympiad. In the next chapter, we will go through some techniques used to solve problems. There would be problems of which you may choose to do before reading the solutions in this chapter. The solutions will include guided techniques to tackling such problems along with in depth analysis and explanation of the questions. Lastly, the final chapter, would comprise of tips I have picked up along the way which will help increase your speed in doing problems and general advice.I graduated from NUS High (Singapore) in 2019 with High Distinction with Honours in Mathematics and Chemistry, and Majors in Biology and Physics. I participated in the International Chemistry Olympiad (IChO) representing Singapore in 2019 and attained a gold medal when I was 18 years old.The idea for the book came out of boredom due to COVID-19. ㈵0;

This study guide for the Chemistry Olympiad contains summarized concepts and examples in all areas of chemistry. The chapters are arranged in a logical manner and establishes connections between concepts. Undergraduate chemistry concepts are explained clearly: every equation in physical chemistry is derived and justified while every organic reaction has its reaction mechanism shown and explained, without assuming that readers have university-level background in the subject. The book also contains original Chemistry Olympiad sample problems that readers may use to test their knowledge.This is a first book of its kind, written by Nan Zhihan, International Chemistry Olympiad (IChO) gold medallist and winner of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) Prize for achieving the highest score in the experimental exam, and experienced Chemistry Olympiad trainer Dr Zhang Sheng, who has served as head mentor of Singapore IChO team for many years. It builds on the experience of both a participant and trainer to help any aspiring Chemistry Olympiad student understand the challenging concepts in chemistry.

This book is the revised edition of Understanding Basic Chemistry Through Problem Solving published in 2015. It is in a series of Understanding Chemistry books, which deals with Basic Chemistry using the problem solving approach. Written for students taking either the university of Cambridge O-level examinations or the GCSE examinations, this guidebook covers essential topics and concepts under both stipulated chemistry syllabi. The book is written in such a way as to guide the reader through the understanding and applications of essential chemical concepts using the problem solving approach. The authors have also retained the popular discourse feature from their previous few books — Understanding Advanced Physical Inorganic Chemistry, Understanding Advanced Organic and Analytical Chemistry, Understanding Advanced Chemistry Through Problem Solving, and Understanding Basic Chemistry — to help the learners better understand and see for themselves, how the concepts should be applied during solving problems. Based on the Socratic Method, questions are implanted throughout the book to help facilitate the reader's development in forming logical conclusions of concepts and the way they are being applied to explain the problems. In addition, the authors have also included important summaries and concept maps to help the learners to recall, remember, reinforce and apply the fundamental chemical concepts in a simple way.

The volume presents a survey of the research by Kurt Wthrich and his associates during the period 1965 to 1994. A selection of reprints of original papers on the use of NMR spectroscopy in structural biology is supplemented with an introduction, which outlines the foundations and the historical development of the use of NMR spectroscopy for the determination of three-dimensional structures of biological macromolecules in solution. The original papers are presented in groups highlighting protein structure determination by NMR, studies of dynamic properties and hydration of biological macromolecules, and practical applications of the NMR methodology in fields such as enzymology, transcriptional regulation, immunosuppression and protein folding.

Industrial applications of Metal complexes have gained significant importance especially in the area of Catalysis in the last three decades. Scope for further development of such applications is extensive as several biological processes in living cells involve metal complexes. Coordination Chemistry is a subject uniquely involving application of Quantum Mechanics, Spectroscopy, Kinetics, Catalysis, Biology and Industrial Chemistry. This book has been written keeping these important aspects of the subject in mind.

This text emphasizes the ideas behind modern game theory rather than their mathematical expression, but defines all concepts precisely. It covers strategic, extensive and coalitional games and includes the topics of repeated games, bargaining theory and evolutionary equilibrium.

Do you want to do more labs and activities but have little time and resources? Are you frustrated with traditional labs that are difficult for the average student to understand, time consuming to grade and stressful to complete in fifty minutes or less? Teacher Friendly: .

Easily created as a kit and stored for years to come Student Friendly: . Easy to read and understand . Background serves as lecture notes . Directly related to class work . Appearance promotes interest and confidence General Format: . Student lab sheet . Student lab sheet with answers in italics . Student lab quiz . Student lab make-up sheet The Benefits: . Increases student engagement . Creates a hand-on learning environment . Allows teacher to build stronger student relationships during the lab . Replaces a lecture with a lab . Provides foundation for follow-up inquiry and problem based labs Teacher Friendly Chemistry allows the busy chemistry teacher, with a small school budget, the ability to provide many hands-on experiences in the classroom without sacrificing valuable personal time.

Written for calculus-inclusive general chemistry courses, Chemical Principles helps students develop chemical insight by showing the connections between fundamental chemical ideas and their applications. Unlike other texts, it begins with a detailed picture of the atom then builds toward chemistry's frontier, continually demonstrating how to solve problems, think about nature and matter, and visualize chemical concepts as working chemists do. Flexibility in level is crucial, and is largely established through clearly labeling (separating in boxes) the calculus coverage in the text: Instructors have the option of whether to incorporate calculus in the coverage of topics. The multimedia integration of Chemical Principles is more deeply established than any other text for this course. Through the unique eBook, the comprehensive Chemistry Portal, Living Graph icons that connect the text to the Web, and a complete set of animations, students can take full advantage of the wealth of resources available to them to help them learn and gain a deeper understanding.
